Question

Mr. Goel left one-third of his property for his son, one fourth to his daughter and the remaining Rs. 2,00,000 to his wife. How much money did he leave?

Answer 1

Let the total amount of money be $x$.

So, money given to son is $\frac{x}{3}$

Money given to daughter is $\frac{x}{4}$

Money given to his wife is $Rs.2,00,000$

So, $200000+\frac{x}{4}+\frac{x}{3}=x$

Or $200000=\frac{5x}{12}$

$⟹x=Rs.4,80,000$
